ST. PETERSBURG -- Manager John Gibbons said the Blue Jays will start Esmil Rogers and Mark Buehrle in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Rogers will take the hill on six days' rest in the 1:05 p.m. ET game, a makeup of their postponed May 19 contest, and Buehrle will start the night game on normal rest. Gibbons was asked if the Blue Jays considered calling up another starter as the designated 26th man for the doubleheader, and he said it wasn't their preference.
